Team Leagues for Everyone
For 2025, competition will be held as team-format tournaments due to the short time frame before the national championships. In 2026, we will have 6-week leagues to determine winners that advance to the national championships.
The Colorado Team Pickleball League, a preferred provider of Triple Team Pickleball Leagues, is modeled after the successful USTA tennis league structure, offering a team-based format, that emphasizes local, regional and national competition for players of all levels to compete in a fun, social and competitive TEAM format. We aim to complement and enhance the pickleball landscape in Colorado, not to compete with existing leagues.
Colorado has 4 different regions to choose from: Front Range, Southern Front Range, Mountain, and Western Slope. Champions from every level, region, and age group will advance to the national championships in 2025.
For the 2025 season we are offering the following divisions: Combo/Mixed (MLP Style) Age 18+ Levels 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 as well as Age 50+ Level 3.5.
Men's Age 18+ Levels 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 as well as Age 50+ 3.5.
Women's Age 18+ Levels 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 as well as Age 50+ 3.5
